THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is not a competitive race. We firmly believe that families should get out and move together. This run/walk can be done at whatever pace you feel most comfortable and we’ll just be thrilled to have you there participating.
Kids and strollers are welcome. We want kids to be a part of this! Decorate their strollers as part of their costume! Pull them in wagons. Although portions of the course will use trail ways in Turkey Brook, we will not be on rough terrain in the woods.
Dogs and bicycles are prohibited. For the safety of all our participants and for the dogs, NO DOGS or bicycles will be allowed on the race course.
Nothing will be too spooky or scary. Although we encourage everyone to come in costume we do ask that this stay a family fun event, thus no costume should be gory, gruesome or deemed otherwise inappropriate for a young audience. We also promise we won’t have anything jumping out at you along the course.
Bring your flashlight. Yes, we will mark the course with glow sticks and glow in the dark tape but who can deny that playing with a flashlight is always FUN! Just to ensure everyone’s safety we encourage all participants to run/walk with a headlamp or flashlight.
Will there be food for sale? YES! Star Dogs will be on site selling food and drinks for our little monsters and their guardians to stay well fueled during the event.
